Last week, we announced our first-ever (unofficial) showcase at South by Southwest (SXSW)! Scheduled to appear on March 16th at Elysium (705 Red River in Austin, TX) are What's Eating Gilbert (featuring Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory), Lemuria, Weatherbox, Candy Hearts, Loma Prieta (Deathwish Inc.), Goodtime Boys, Octaves, and Silver Snakes (Animal Style). The showcase is slated to start at 11am and go until 6pm and is free for those 18+ with no badges or RSVP's required - entry is on a first come, first served basis. Sponsors include AtoZ Media, SJC Drums, Revelation Distribution, Punkflags.com, Caroline Distribution, GHS Strings, Greenvans, Argybargy Screenprinting, Imprint, Monster Energy Drink, Janice Cabs and Light & Noise.

We're also pumped to mention that there will be an exclusive What's Eating Gilbert/Octaves split 7" that will be free (while supplies last) to anyone who shows up. We will also have free limited-edition screenprinted posters to anyone who shows up early enough. And, there will be an open bar from noon to 1 P.M. More information on the show can be found here. See you in Austin!
